Geologic Journey

Geologic Journey is a CBC documentary series hosted by David Suzuki, documenting the incredible and sometimes
surprising history of Canada's landscape. Imagine a world where North America and Africa are one super-continent,
where a mountain range the size of the Himalayas covers the Great Lakes region, and the tropical saltwater sea covers
the ground. What do we really know about the history of the earth below our feet? Geologic Journey blends modern science,
spectacular footage and animation, and personal stories from people driven by the geologic wonder. The series consists of
five episodes: The Great Lakes, The Rockies, The Canadian Shield, The Appalachians, and The Atlantic Coast.
